1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,600 And welcome to Buffalo Red, your source for all of JJ and Dan's tears about the bill's 2 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,440 recent loss to New England Patriots. 3 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:21,440 JJ folks is on IR this week dealing with a shoulder injury, TBD and his timeline for 4 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:22,440 return. 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:29,000 So we are going to our guest pool, our friends of the pod, not friends of the bills roster 6 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,280 of potential guest host. 7 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,480 And given that we are recapping the Patriots week seven win against our beloved Buffalo 8 00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:40,360 Bills, we decided to bring in our tried and true ally from the New England Patriots fan 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,400 base, one Brandon Bennett. 10 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,880 Brandon, how you feeling today? 11 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,280 I'm feeling pretty good. 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,680 I appreciate you having me back on the pod. 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,280 I appreciate your humility and modesty in a moment where I'm not going to lie. 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,200 I would be dunking all over you right now. 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,980 So for those of you unfamiliar with Brandon Brandon, watch tell us a little bit about 16 00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:01,200 your background as a Pats fan. 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,760 Yeah, it all started in college. 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,040 I was sort of late to the game when it came to football. 19 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:13,520 And some buddies got me into it and then became a Patriots fans. 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,320 2007 versus the Giants put some money on that Super Bowl. 21 00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,600 And I think everybody kind of knows the result there, but that's where it all started back 22 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,400 in 2007. 23 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:30,920 So it's fair to say that the losing ways of your favorite franchise over the past couple 24 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,680 of seasons, they're sort of new to you. 25 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,000 Would that be a fair assessment? 26 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,280 You kind of came in as the Patriots were peaking? 27 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,480 Yes, yeah, that's fair. 28 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:46,520 But at this point, I think we've been bad for a couple of years at this point. 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:56,840 So we're sort of settling into the post Brady Belichick domination era and are eating our 30 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,720 humble pie these days. 31 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:05,000 Listen, is a Bill's fan who was tortured by your favorite franchise for 20 years? 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Two years is not enough. 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,560 But damn it, we couldn't get it done this week either. 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,040 I have been, I joked at the beginning of this pot about drinking in the tears of JJ and 35 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,040 I. 36 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,040 I have to tell you, man. 37 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,360 The next chain after this game was absolutely off the hook. 38 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,800 We were calling for people to be fired, people to be benched, trade away all of our picks 39 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,680 for some kind of defensive help. 40 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,280 We were in a very emotional state, my friend. 41 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,440 But now that we've had a little bit of time to process, I want to get to a far more rational 42 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:39,800 and objective recap of what was, I think, a sound victory for the New England Patriots. 43 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,600 They did a lot of things schematically that I was impressed with. 44 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:48,760 And Belichick did what he never seems to do, which is make change up the roster a little 45 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,760 bit. 46 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,880 He was sort of forced to with some of his game time decisions with Juju Smith Schuster 47 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:57,480 being out, but playing to Mario Douglas, I think was a really great call, edit a speed 48 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:03,680 element that teams had not had to game plan for against the New England Patriots team 49 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,960 all season that didn't produce a lot of film offensively for teams to be able to game plan 50 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,360 for, and I think ultimately worked a great effect, the creativity they got Douglas involved 51 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,760 with, and then, you know, Brandon, their game plan of taking advantage of the Buffalo Bills 52 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,080 interior defensive line injuries and just smashing the ball up the middle of the field. 53 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,360 In our pregame assessment, JJ and I said, if the Patriots win this game, it's because 54 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,000 they're dominating on those gap scheme power runs that O'Brien likes to do. 55 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,960 They're successfully running the ball and then they're opening up the middle of the 56 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,240 field for Mack to dink and dunk his way to victory. 57 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,760 And I think that was in point of fact, the game plan that the Patriots planned on rolling 58 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240 out and we're very successful in doing so. 59 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Brandon, I'm sure there's a lot more positives that you can take from that game. 60 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,640 So here's what I'd like to do. 61 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,880 I would like to break down given the unique formatting opportunity we have here, where 62 00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,760 normally it's both me and JJ lamenting on how the Bills could improve. 63 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,560 I'm going to take the lamenting side. 64 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,520 So I'm going to talk about exclusively three things I feel like cost the Bills this game 65 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,400 in this particular situation. 66 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,520 And then on your side of things, I think it'd be great for people to hear from the opposing 67 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,520 viewpoint. 68 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,640 So what are some things you think the Patriots did that really cemented this victory for 69 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,640 them? 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,120 So why don't we start with one of your first items, Brandon? 71 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,720 What in your estimation helped lead your beloved New England Patriots to a victory over the 72 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,320 hated Buffalo Bills? 73 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,760 I don't hate you. 74 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:38,760 I respect you. 75 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,760 And thank you. 76 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,760 Yeah, of course. 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,360 I too find you to be a wonderful friend. 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,920 I've said it a multitude of times. 79 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,800 The only thing that is imperfect about you is your sports allegiances. 80 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:48,800 That's it. 81 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,520 Otherwise, you're an A plus human being. 82 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,200 I appreciate it. 83 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,200 All right. 84 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,400 So what led the Patriots to success in week seven? 85 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:03,960 So Belichick talked last week after the loss about starting over. 86 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:11,600 And I think that the team overall sort of went into this Bills matchup with that mentality. 87 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,440 We saw more shifting in the offensive line. 88 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:21,960 They just haven't been able to figure out the lineup that makes the most sense. 89 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:29,200 And I think this past week was sort of getting it right for the first time this season. 90 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,640 Mack had a lot of time to kind of go through his reads back in the pocket. 91 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:40,560 And I know that part of that is due to injuries on your defensive side. 92 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:47,200 But Mack really, I thought, did an uncharacteristically good job sort of going through his reads, 93 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,280 getting the ball to his number one, which is Kendrick Bourne. 94 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:55,680 And then, like you already mentioned, sort of working DiMario Douglas into the offense. 95 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,240 I really like his sort of twitchy second gear speed that he has. 96 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,400 And I think, you know, if we're to move forward in a positive way, he's going to have to continue 97 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,960 to be an essential part of the offense. 98 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Last thing I would add is I think the RPOs that they ran were pretty effective. 99 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,480 And I felt like the bills had a hard time responding to that. 100 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:29,240 I think it was, I think the most RPOs that they ran in a game so far this season. 101 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:35,080 DiMario coming out of the backfields a couple times was also led to some big plays. 102 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,320 So the other thing I'll say, last thing I'll say, last thing I'll say is that, you know, 103 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:45,200 for for the bills side of the ball, starting any game with an interception is really hard, 104 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,200 right? 105 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,200 Terrible. 106 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:56,120 I think about last season and the Naheem Hines kickoff return for a touchdown. 107 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,600 That's also a terrible way to start a game. 108 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,360 So, you know, and it's kind of hard to come back from that. 109 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:10,200 So I think the the interception didn't start things off really well for the bills. 110 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,800 And I think the Patriots capitalized on that and wanted to put points on early, which they 111 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,120 haven't been able to do all season. 112 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,600 So those are my thoughts. 113 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,120 The Patriots were coming into this game averaging right around 11 points per game and had not 114 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:33,080 gone above 28 points in a game since week six of last season. 115 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:38,600 So basically in a full season of football, you guys hadn't put a 30 burger on anyone. 116 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:46,040 And this year, you are averaging just above 10 points a game, and you decide to lay 29 117 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,960 on the Buffalo Bills in a quote unquote reset game. 118 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,640 But it was a pretty dramatic turnaround. 119 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,360 I agree with you. 120 00:07:54,360 --> 00:08:01,520 And the reset thing that Belichick talked about, I think is very pertinent to this conversation, 121 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240 because we saw them, I think, schematically do a lot of stuff that they've wanted to do 122 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:10,920 all season, but they had not been able to find the right mix of personnel on the offensive 123 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,480 side of the ball to do so. 124 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,800 I think the biggest thing for them, outside of getting Douglas and born, giving them the 125 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:22,080 starts at wide receiver, because they're they're your two most dynamic weapons, is 126 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:27,040 they finally found a combination of offensive linemen with all the injuries that you guys 127 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,280 have dealt with this season, they were going to allow them, albeit against effectively a 128 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:36,040 second unit defensive line of the Buffalo Bills, but still a combination that was going to 129 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:42,480 allow them to do what they want to do, which was establish the run early, suck in our very 130 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,280 young and an experienced linebacker core into more run protection, and open up those middle 131 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,320 parts of the field for Mack Jones. 132 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,920 I want to go through Mack Jones stat line with you here, because I think it's very, 133 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,920 very telling. 134 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,680 And I'm going to give Mac a compliment here early on, because you had mentioned this in 135 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:03,920 our I had texted you after the game. 136 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,080 And you're early on, I think assessment was that Mac was just doing a really good job 137 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,160 throwing into tight windows. 138 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,360 And I'm like, you know, on the broadcast, I don't remember him doing a lot of that. 139 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,320 So I went back and I rewatched some of the game, and I looked at the stat package from 140 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,200 NFL next gen stats. 141 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:26,800 And sure enough, Mac was throwing into some very tight windows, he was trusting his guys 142 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:33,220 to win their matchups, even in close coverage, a play after play. 143 00:09:33,220 --> 00:09:38,400 So his average time to throw here was 2.19 seconds, which I will tell you is absolute 144 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,160 death for this Buffalo Bills unit. 145 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,000 The pass rush wants to get to the QB. 146 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,080 But because of some of the injuries and now the lack of depth on our interior defensive 147 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880 line, it just takes us more time to get to the QB. 148 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,880 So coverage needs to hold out. 149 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,040 But coverage isn't holding up because we don't have Matt Milano patrolling the middle of 150 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,360 the field anymore, and we don't have Trey White locking down the opposing team's best wide 151 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,600 receiver. 152 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:08,280 So Mac was able to, albeit dink and dunk his way, make quick decisions, but he displayed 153 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880 a tremendous amount of trust in his wide receivers. 154 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,720 And I think that has everything to do with this reset that Belichick talked about. 155 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,640 I remember in the Matt Patricia era, you guys had such a he had such an issue playing Kendrick 156 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,920 Bourne, I guess Bourne like talked about his mom or something like that in a practice, 157 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,240 I don't know. 158 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200 But Patricia seemed to hate Kendrick Bourne. 159 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,200 And there were long stretches where Bourne was effectively a healthy scratch from game 160 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,760 to game last season, when he was clearly your most dynamic passcatcher outside of Jacoby 161 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Myers, who has now since moved on to Las Vegas. 162 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,360 So Mac was clearly playing with the personnel packages, both protection wise, and from a 163 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,240 skill position standpoint, that he was more comfortable than playing with than he had 164 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520 been at any other point this season. 165 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,320 And I think that's big for Mac to be able to get the ball out that quickly, albeit his 166 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,920 average yards of completion was 4.2 yards. 167 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,280 But he was letting some of these dynamic more dynamic playmakers on your roster, make the 168 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,200 plays that they needed to he was making strong decisions. 169 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,400 He was going with his like you said, he was going through his progression, we're going 170 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:17,000 with his first or second read, but making those decisions quickly. 171 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:23,000 And I think this this is the formula for the Patriots offense to improve and continue to 172 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,400 be competitive throughout the season. 173 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,800 Mac unloading quickly, having weapons that he can trust. 174 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,480 But first and foremost, this team establishing the run to open up the limited portions of 175 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,160 the field that Mac has the ability to hit. 176 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,040 He's not going to push the ball downfield, like to our Josh Allen. 177 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:47,560 But if you can utilize the other dimensions of your offense to open up various levels 178 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:52,240 of the field for him that he can exploit, it makes him an effective chain mover, which 179 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,400 is something that you guys have lacked really going back to last season, and some of his 180 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:02,840 regression under Patricia, I would be so bold as to say, this is probably his best game, 181 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,840 I would say since his rookie season, I know statistically he's had some good games for 182 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,480 you guys last year, despite the Matt Patricia stuff, including some games against us. 183 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:19,120 But I would say from a holistic standpoint, with not just his numbers, Brandon, but with 184 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:25,720 his progressions, with his exploitation of certain areas of the field, and just picking 185 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,360 on the obvious weaknesses in this defense. 186 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:34,560 I mean, we benched Dorian Williams, because Mac Jones was making him look foolish in coverage. 187 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:40,720 We went to Tyrell Dotson, who is a substandard athlete, we benched, we basically didn't play 188 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,920 Kaier Elam, our former number one draft pick and most athletic cornerback, because we were 189 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,120 afraid how we would get exploited in this game. 190 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,800 All of those things, a credit to O'Brien and for developing a great game plan to pick on 191 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,880 our weaknesses, but Jones for exploiting them in a way that he hasn't been able to. 192 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,680 So yeah, man, I'm absolutely with you on a lot of this reasoning. 193 00:13:03,680 --> 00:13:07,880 If I could, let me kick you some reasoning from the bill side as well. 194 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,320 And I'm going to start on the defensive side of the ball. 195 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,680 And this is going to sound like a cop out, but it's not. 196 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:20,520 I think the injuries on the defensive side of the ball for the bills are a little bit 197 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,360 too much for them to overcome at this particular point. 198 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800 No, I think you're absolutely right. 199 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,240 Yeah, yeah. 200 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:35,040 So Dequan Jones being out for an undetermined amount of time, Matt Milano being out for 201 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,920 what we hope won't be the full season, but looks like it's going to be the full season. 202 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:46,160 And even Dorian Williams playing so well as a replacement linebacker for Matt Milano, 203 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,360 we saw from this game he's got a lot of room for growth. 204 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:54,200 Now, I disagree with McDermott's decision to bench Williams, which he did in favor of 205 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,080 Terrell Dodson. 206 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,000 We all know as Bill's mafia, who Terrell Dodson is, he's unathletic. 207 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,840 He's a replacement player at best. 208 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,760 And he's a guy that you use to spell your second stringer, not a guy you use to replace 209 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,200 your first stringer. 210 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,320 So and he is weak, weak sauce and past coverage. 211 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:18,440 Now there are a couple of counterplays that in the run game that you guys broke out that 212 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,680 I think really exploited Williams aggressiveness on defense because he likes to make one quick 213 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,360 decision and then trust his athletic ability to get him to the point of attack. 214 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,720 And you guys ran some pretty effective counters and play action that made him bite early and 215 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,320 caught him way out of position, which was the reason that McDermott ended up benching 216 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,320 him. 217 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,240 It was overall good scheming that took advantage. 218 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,280 And again, there's nothing wrong with this, the took advantage of all the injuries and 219 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:52,320 as a result, all of the weaknesses that are left on what is a very depleted Bill's defensive 220 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,320 unit. 221 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,720 Brandon, do you want to hear an absolutely disgusting stat on the Bill's defense? 222 00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,720 Would you like to? 223 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,280 That would be delicious. 224 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,080 Would you like to revel in this moment, sir? 225 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,080 So here it is. 226 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:13,040 So the Buffalo Bills heading into week six, where a top five team in defensive DVOA. 227 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,560 So they were number five in the league. 228 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,040 And this was after them sustaining some of these injuries. 229 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,640 After this Patriots game, do you want to know where they are DVOA wise in the league right 230 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,640 now for the season? 231 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320 I'm on the edge of my seat. 232 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,280 They are 13th, my friend. 233 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,280 13th. 234 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:35,840 And they all knocked us back five straight ranks in DVOA, which is supposed to be a longer 235 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,200 term metric for how good your defense is. 236 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,520 We are now fending off our defensive competition from this this upcoming week, the Tampa Bay 237 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,000 Buccaneers by one position point. 238 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,040 They're 12th, we are 13. 239 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:55,240 It's just it's a crazy fall from grace from a defensive unit that I am old enough to remember 240 00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:01,960 shutting down the Miami Dolphins and winning that game like 48 to 21 or some absurd margin. 241 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:09,040 So so the Buffalo Bills defense in the injuries, again, sounding like a cop out is a big reason 242 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,920 why we lost this game. 243 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:17,120 But credit to your crew for exploiting those weaknesses in an appropriate fashion and figuring 244 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,400 out how to play that chess match of getting your talent open and finding those deficiencies 245 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:24,920 and our defensive plan. 246 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,640 Credit to you guys seriously. 247 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,800 I I I would say truly this was an upset victory, right? 248 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Absolutely. 249 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,120 The bills should have won this game. 250 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:41,720 I think most people were probably banking on the bills winning this game and totally 251 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,440 agree this was Max best outing in a very, very long time. 252 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,440 Easily. 253 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:53,880 I also think at the same time, it was not a great day for Josh Allen. 254 00:16:53,880 --> 00:17:00,120 And even with those two factors like Mac Jones playing his best, Josh Allen, maybe not having 255 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000 a great day. 256 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,920 The game was still really close. 257 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,920 Like I know it was it was a nail pointer for the last five minutes. 258 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,800 And if it wasn't, I believe it was a third and eight. 259 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:19,000 Mac completed a pass to Hunter Henry to extend that drive. 260 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,560 Like if it wasn't for that play, you guys would have won. 261 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,840 So it really was that close. 262 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:32,480 And I don't I truly don't think with everything that we've seen at this point, I don't have 263 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,640 faith that this is sustainable. 264 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:40,080 Like, you know, we've been watching or I've been watching Mac for the last three years. 265 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,320 And I don't think this is going to be the brand. 266 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,280 I think this was a special day for him. 267 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,600 And those are going to be few and far between. 268 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:58,040 So yeah, that's that is far more rational and objective than I thought you would be. 269 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:06,080 I am old enough to remember sports casters on like Fox Sports One and ESPN after the Patriots 270 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,840 had gone through and Mac Jones rookie year like that seven or eight game win streak against 271 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,320 a depleted schedule. 272 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,720 And they were calling Mac baby goat, right? 273 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,720 Baby goat. 274 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,040 I thought for sure you were going to bring the baby goat talk back. 275 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,360 But no, I appreciate the objectivity. 276 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:29,800 But this game, I think for you guys, it really encapsulates what Belichick was hoping to 277 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,800 achieve with the limited pieces on this offensive roster. 278 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:39,960 And why bringing in someone like Bill O'Brien to scheme up for it was a was a not a genius 279 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,160 move, but I would say a stabilizing move in the arc of Mac Jones development. 280 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,480 Could you could Belichick have done more to bring in some offensive pieces? 281 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,480 Absolutely. 282 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,640 Belichick to GM. 283 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:59,960 But the scheme in and of itself, like this is the the pilot episode of what you guys 284 00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:02,800 want to do to competition moving forward. 285 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,280 You want your best five offensive linemen out there, which because of injury you haven't 286 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,240 had the benefit from. 287 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:14,080 You want to be able to establish the run game effectively enough to where those RPOs and 288 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,160 some of that play action the mag was doing in this game has some efficacy against the 289 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,440 opponent to at least make them think twice. 290 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:26,680 When you guys when I look at game film of how teams had been playing you guys this year, 291 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,560 no one thought Mac could go to the boundaries and no one was worried about your run game. 292 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,060 Everyone was pinning their ears back and going after Mac and they were getting him off platform. 293 00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:38,520 He had the cleanest pocket. 294 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,440 I think I've seen Mac have in a really long time. 295 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,240 Part of it was the quick time to throw. 296 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,440 But part of it was the upgrade and protection that you guys got again by finding this combo 297 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,160 of offensive linemen to run the scheme that you want to. 298 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,640 So I agree with you. 299 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,160 I agree with you to some extent Mac is really limited. 300 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,840 But I think against the right teams. 301 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:05,680 And I think Miami is one of those teams because they've got similar deficiencies on defense. 302 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,600 They've got some injuries that they're dealing with right now. 303 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,040 Their linebacking core is banged up and not great. 304 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,640 They're not great at defending the middle of the field and they're very susceptible to 305 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,640 the run. 306 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,680 I could see a game plan like this working to great effect against Miami for you guys 307 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,680 next week. 308 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,680 Yeah. 309 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,640 And it's kind of interesting that Miami these last two weeks is sort of showing a little 310 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,560 bit that they are not actually super humans. 311 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,400 They are just normal normal human athletes. 312 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,640 They can't beat anybody good. 313 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,440 They can't beat anybody good. 314 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,000 And I love Mike McDaniel. 315 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,320 If you've listened to any episodes branded me and JJ Gush over his nerdom. 316 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,720 We love this dude. 317 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,000 But the reality is that their offensive scheme has been shut down by good defenses and you 318 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,320 guys have a good defense. 319 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,240 I wanted to ask you a couple of questions. 320 00:20:54,240 --> 00:21:00,440 Get your sense of just thoughts on the offensive side of the ball for the bills. 321 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:05,240 Diggs had perfect lead in to where the next two points on where this game went wrong. 322 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Go ahead. 323 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:12,520 So Diggs is obviously the all store all star wide receiver 12 targets only six receptions 324 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,680 and his season lowest in yards at 58. 325 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:25,880 Then you have King Cade who went eight for eight and a really well cook three for three 326 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:30,600 receptions in the air and combined rushing he was over a hundred scrimmage yards. 327 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,880 So I thought he was looking really good. 328 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,640 And as you know I have cook on my fantasy team and I was pretty happy with that performance. 329 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,440 So any of the any of the tutty he got the tutty for you. 330 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:50,440 So so how come Diggs was so ineffective but King Cade and cook both had pretty good outings. 331 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:58,640 So I think this is a strategy we've seen Bella check deploy in the past which is he wants 332 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,360 to bracket Diggs. 333 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:04,800 Bella check defensively wants to take away your best weapon and he wants to make you 334 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:10,920 play left handed and the Buffalo Bills over the past few years have failed to establish 335 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:18,320 a reliable number two pass catcher that warrants any type of attention outside of Diggs. 336 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,720 Everybody knows because Josh says it in the post game that Diggs is his number one read 337 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,400 everyone also knows that Dorsey as you should for your number one wide receiver has a lot 338 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:34,760 of plays schemed up for Diggs when Diggs is bracketed and ultimately taken out of the 339 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,600 equation. 340 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:43,360 Playing defenses still have the luxury of getting pressure on Josh with the five or 341 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:48,960 six man blitz without having to worry about losing coverage on the back end because outside 342 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,200 of King Cade who's a dynamic zone beater they don't have a lot of guys that can beat man 343 00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,600 and you guys play a ton of man right you guys play a ton of man and JC Jackson was oftentimes 344 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,200 left out there on an island with one of your guys safeties coming over the top to assist 345 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,120 on Diggs and that was enough to take him out of the equation didn't stop Josh from forcing 346 00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:16,680 the ball to digs as he has been known to do in high pressure situations. 347 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,000 But I think when you take away Josh's first read there's not a lot of confidence in a 348 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,400 lot of these second options we ran through this stat JJ and I did in the pregame Josh 349 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:32,160 Allen's QBR when throwing to stuff on Diggs heading into week seven was 90 was 97 his 350 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:37,680 passer rating above average is considered 100 so he's right right there close to above 351 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:42,280 average all other targets was a 56 rating. 352 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,240 So part of it is like the Gabe Davis drops which are still a problem the Dawson Knox 353 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:54,360 drops which are still a problem not yet really trusting or having rapport with King Cade 354 00:23:54,360 --> 00:24:00,040 and the bills are just slow to onboard weapons to this offense generally we saw this in the 355 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:05,520 spurt's two years two or three years ago when Emmanuel Sanders came on board we're now seeing 356 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,200 it with sure field and Deonti Hardy and the struggles to get them involved. 357 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:17,760 So basically teams can take away digs and then it is a 50 50 proposition about whether 358 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:23,960 or not the bills will be able to successfully use their other weapons add to the fact that 359 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:30,400 the pressure packages that Belichick was bringing in this game were very very good. 360 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:35,680 There were so many free runners coming in Allen in this game Brandon that there were 361 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,360 points where I'm like is Josh just is he just missing protections at this point like is 362 00:24:40,360 --> 00:24:43,960 he missing the protection call out because I could see some of it on the broadcast and 363 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,600 when you can see it on the broadcast you know it's a problem but I'm like they're bringing 364 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,960 pressure over here. 365 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,520 Oh this safety is now up in the box they're bringing pressure this way right. 366 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,600 So is seeing a lot of these like they weren't even they weren't even delaying pressure a 367 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,680 lot of times they were just bringing straight pressure on Josh and he was having a really 368 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,200 hard time picking it up pre snap. 369 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,180 So you take away digs you bring in well time pressure on Josh and it caught him off platform. 370 00:25:10,180 --> 00:25:16,240 His average time to throw in this game was the longest of the week at 3.26 seconds which 371 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,680 means he was running for his life out of the pocket like it was last season and he was 372 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,520 looking for any open targets. 373 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:29,200 Now in fairness there were points where Josh missed a lot of open reads he missed him last 374 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,360 week in the Giants game to where James Cook was running free on a couple of different 375 00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:35,160 play series. 376 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:40,000 So Josh was missing some of his open receivers but when you get Josh off platform. 377 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,280 Yes he is deadly but then he also gets tunnel vision and he looks for digs he looks for 378 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,120 knocks he might occasionally look for Davis is if Davis isn't running a clear out none 379 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,080 of those options were available. 380 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,640 So Josh had to improv quite considerably. 381 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:00,360 It wasn't until the second half when the bills finally adjusted Dalton Kincaid gets involved 382 00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:04,480 in some design zone beaters and then the time to throw plummets. 383 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:12,960 So Brandon on on throws that took Josh less than 2.5 seconds he was 14 of 15 in this game 384 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:18,560 all other throws he was over three and a half seconds and he was all other throws that he 385 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:24,520 was over three and a half seconds on his completion percentage drop down to near 50%. 386 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:29,760 So by making Josh overthink it and taking away his first read Belichick and schemed 387 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,360 up a really good defense to get him off platform and take away some of those improvisational 388 00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:38,840 skills and throws that Josh brings to bear so effectively. 389 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:46,440 Yeah I feel like as well one of Josh Allen superpowers is his feet and his his ability 390 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,320 to scramble and get downfield and you're like reading my mind just so everybody knows Brandon 391 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,840 has not seen my show notes but he's perfectly leading in to all of my points on why the 392 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,440 bills lost this game. 393 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:03,960 Yeah so so talk to me about that I mean again that's I'll talk about the fantasy football 394 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,160 side of it you know you love a quarterback that rushes the ball well and Josh Allen is 395 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:14,240 one of the best at it but I don't think we saw that on full display in this game. 396 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:18,200 Oh you sure didn't and I got more stats for you so we're going to take a look at the splits 397 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:24,520 here from the first five games of the season or for the first four games of the season 398 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,840 to the last three games of the season. 399 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:34,000 So his splits on rushing the football god it's so it's so terrible and depressing and it's 400 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,360 awful and I hate it. 401 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:36,760 All right here we go. 402 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:45,040 So Josh early on this season games one through four was averaging six yards a carry six yards 403 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:50,760 a carry on about 16 attempts over the last few weeks where the bills have had some of 404 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:57,960 these difficulties and in winning football games that yards per carry average has dropped 405 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:06,200 to 3.23 yards on average and they are one in two Brandon in those games where Josh is 406 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:12,240 just not taking away these chunk yards couple of different reasons one there is a big there 407 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,960 is a big sense and Buffalo that Josh needs to protect himself more which is true last 408 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:22,000 season he was injured he had the UCL injury to his elbow which he got in the pocket not 409 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,920 rushing the football by the way QB's get hurt in the pocket by bad offensive linemen not 410 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:32,440 not often rushing the football when they're prepared for contact but that being a side 411 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:38,000 bean McDermott were very public and telling Josh to be smarter about the way he was choosing 412 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,480 his rush attempts they also over the last three weeks have pretty much eliminated any 413 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:49,960 designed Josh Allen run plays so you can see is and this really comes to bear on second 414 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:56,560 and long plays they do not fear the Buffalo bills running the ball on second and long 415 00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:02,400 plays you still have a lot of teams that are playing a cover cover two high shell daring 416 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,400 them to dink and dunk and throw the ball daring them to run the ball but the Buffalo bills 417 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,840 over the last three weeks effectively scheming out the Josh Allen design run is now an an 418 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,880 element in a multiplicity that other teams don't need to worry about so on second and 419 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:22,040 long teams are pinning their ears back and you guys were a perfect example of this they're 420 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:29,720 bringing pressure in those early down sets they are they are deploying a great amount 421 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:36,320 of run blitzes as well just to make the pocket messy for Josh and he is not taking the opportunity 422 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:40,840 when he sees open holes and open windows to rush the ball and gain some of that chunk 423 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:45,280 yardage last season with his own feet that made them so effective on second and third 424 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:50,600 down Josh throwing the ball on first down has been an absolute animal and this game 425 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:56,240 was no different in the first half Josh Josh's efficiency on first down was incredible he 426 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:02,120 threw for an average on first down of about six yards per play the problem came on second 427 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,480 down and second and long situations where the bills on second down average one point 428 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:13,440 one yards per play add to that five of their nine total penalties in this game came on 429 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,400 third down all of a sudden you're putting the Buffalo bills in third and long situations 430 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:24,420 which no one wants to be in but they are becoming without this Josh Allen option to run way 431 00:30:24,420 --> 00:30:29,320 more predictable particularly in their second down so even if the bills are gaining chunk 432 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,840 yardage on first down teams are locking them down on second down and putting them in really 433 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:40,080 problematic situations on third down as a result add in some sloppy play a false start 434 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,080 here an offensive holding penalty here and all of a sudden you've got the recipe for 435 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,240 an inefficient Buffalo bills offense now I'm not saying the lack of a Josh Allen run game 436 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,920 is responsible for all of that a lot of that is player execution and coaching particularly 437 00:30:53,920 --> 00:31:00,000 on the penalty side of the ball but they are taking away things that make given element 438 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,720 of unpredictability and explosiveness to this bill's offense that has existed in years past 439 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:12,200 and as a result and again you're seeing it statistically on second down teams are effectively 440 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,520 making the bills play with one arm tied behind their their back on second down and the bills 441 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:22,160 are inviting it by not allowing any of this Josh Allen to use as full physical tools it's 442 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,600 a great observation and that that to me is where the coaching conversation comes into 443 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,680 play now there's a lot of bills fans Brandon that are happily calling for Ken Dorsey's 444 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,200 head on a platter if the bills don't win this Thursday night game against the Buccaneers 445 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:41,960 I will say blame belongs at Dorsey's feet for a lot of different things the failure 446 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:47,880 to adjust in quarter or in series to what the defense is doing those free rushers that 447 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,720 I told you about that the the New England Patriots were giddily throwing at Josh that's 448 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,840 a failure of calling the protection at line of scrimmage which means one of two things 449 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:04,120 either Josh is completely missing a pre snap or and what is more likely is that Dorsey is 450 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:11,060 not giving Allen enough hot route options to mitigate the blitz now you saw that change 451 00:32:11,060 --> 00:32:15,760 in the second half after they got the ability to go into the locker room and figure some 452 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:21,480 stuff out but Dorsey is a play caller needs to recognize those things in series and in 453 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:27,440 quarter and give his star QB those options right away to adjust to what the defense is 454 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:34,080 throwing at them and Dorsey is really really poor at doing that same thing with with scheduling 455 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:42,400 out some of these designed offensive plays if the bills are going to take away unpredictability 456 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,080 and multiplicity from some of their offensive sets especially now what Dawson Knox now being 457 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,760 hurt and our ability to run 12 personnel almost going out the window completely they need 458 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,440 another element of unpredictability somewhere and Josh's legs and raw athleticism are the 459 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,360 best place to get it if they've got the courage and the willingness to schedule it back into 460 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:03,360 the playbook. 461 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:13,240 I I also said just to add to that I think Dawson Knox being out for an extended period of time 462 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:19,920 report say he's gonna have to get surgery gives the Kincaid really a unique opportunity 463 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,800 to kind of shine here. 464 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:22,800 Amen. 465 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,800 Yeah. 466 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:32,480 And normally rookie tight ends often don't have a good first season but I think you know 467 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:39,760 Kincaid looks really really nice eight for eight is not some I would bat an eye at and 468 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:46,240 yeah interesting to see if that sort of trend continues with the Knox injury. 469 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,080 So yeah and you never want to see a player go down but I think Josh and Knox are very 470 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:58,840 close and Josh Josh and his improvisational style will go to Knox and a lot of key moments 471 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,520 we saw it in the Giants game on that fourth and fourth and eight I think it was where 472 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,920 Knox dropped the ball. 473 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,400 We saw a couple of big drops from Knox in this game as well. 474 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,640 I love Dawson Knox. 475 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,960 I think he's an absolute athletic specimen but he is not the past catcher of the Dalton 476 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:19,120 Kincaid is but because there is rapport with him and Josh Josh has a comfortability going 477 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,240 to him that he does not have to other guys on the roster. 478 00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:27,440 So again never want to see a guy get hurt but I think a silver lining to Knox's recovery 479 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,720 period is that Josh is going to have to get comfortable using some of these other weapons 480 00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:36,280 as his third option outside of digs and outside of Davis. 481 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:44,040 I think Kincaid has a real opportunity to shine if and only if Dorsey is appropriately 482 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,320 recognizing where Kincaid can be a safety valve especially in beating some of these 483 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:54,120 zone pressure looks the teams are rolling out there against the Buffalo Bills. 484 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,200 So Brandon that pretty much wraps up all my points. 485 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:03,520 Is there anything you want to add in summation and glorious victory here before we before 486 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,520 we part ways? 487 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:10,520 The only thing I want to say is Nana Nana Boo Boo stick your head in. 488 00:35:10,520

00:35:55,720 Well the rematch is going to be in Buffalo and if the bills don't win that game 50 to 504 00:35:55,720 --> 00:36:01,760 nothing and like a repeat of the perfect wild card game and sub-sub-zero degree weather 505 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,760 I'm going to be very disappointed if it's anything else. 506 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,280 But we'll bring it back closer to do the
